Directions:
- Wash the lentils and place in a large sauce pan with the 6 cups water.
- Bring lentils to a boil, skimming when necessary, cover and simmer gently for approximately 1 hour or until the lentils are soft (do not under-cook) .
- In a separate pan heat the olive oil, add onions and cook until transparent, stir in the garlic and cook for a minute more. Add shredded swiss chard and stir fry until the leaves are wilted.
- Pour onions into the pot with the lentils, add cilantro, season with salt and pepper, add lemon juice and simmer for a further 15-20 minutes. Serve in soup bowls garnished with a wedge of lemon. Serve with some type of flatbread.
